James had his 6-month check-up last Wednesday. It went well. He weighed in at 18 1/2 pounds...into the 60th percentile now. He is 26 inches long now, which is in the 30th percentile. Since James is now 6 months old, he was able to get his flu shot. He also got his monthly synagis shots and a combo with DTap, Polio, and Hep B. He was due for 2 other shots as well, but the doctor decided to put them off to next month since he was already getting 4 shots. He took them like a trooper, as he always does. He's getting so big!
I put off this post because I was hoping to have a surgery update to write about. The surgeon said he would be in touch after James' 6-month check-up but we still haven't heard anything despite numerous messages left at his office (the nurses always call back to tell us they delivered the message). Apparently a lot of babies are in need of his expertise! The surgeon put off the surgery in January because he wanted James to be over the 50th percentile in weight. Now that he's past that point, we are anxiously awaiting to hear what the next steps will be and when. I will let you know when I do.
*Update: The surgeon's office called today (Wednesday). The surgeon wants to see James before he thinks about scheduling surgery. The first available appoinment he has is March 16th. So we will be seeing the surgeon then and maybe scheduling surgery, but we don't know for sure. The good news is that since surgery is still at least a month away and James has had a flu shot, we are going to get back to church! We will become hermits again for the week or so before the surgery date...whenever that is.
